Ellen, I WAS a contestant on Jeopardy when Art Fleming was the host. The money for single jeopardy was 10,20,30,40 and 50 and for double jeopardy it was 20,40,60,80, and 100 dollars -- about 1/10 of what became later.

Oh, cool! Yeah, those were big bucks then. I probably saw you; my family watched "Jeopardy!" every day. I was a contestant, too, in 2002.

Getting back on topic: I wonder if any of the "Hot in Cleveland" cast were "Jeopardy!" contestants?

Re: Hot in Cleveland

Loved the show last night ... Wayne Knight was terrific. Wish Carl Reiner had more of a part. Betty White continues to be the best part of it all. From the previews, it looks like Valerie's character's mom is going to visit next week ... who should play her? I was thinking of another Valerie: Valerie Harper (Rhoda from the Mary Tyler Moore show)! Would love to see a "reunion" of sorts, with MTM herself playing Victoria's mom at some point.

I think it would be funny if Bonnie Franklin made her way on the show But she is played by Shirley Knight.

My sister swears by this show. I can't get this channel on my cable box (cable company doesn't offer TV Land), but I did catch a repeat of the first show on CMT channel. I thought it was really good. Man, I hope CMT network continues to show the repeat of this show, just like BRAVO/OXYGEN networks does with their shows sometimes. That would be awesome!

I saw it on VH1 for one episode. I haven't seen it there since and I have no idea why it was there, but I'm sure I saw it as I double checked the channel. You might check that out.

I loved the show at first, but then last night I started watching an episode that had a stupid scene. It was a lousy idea and very overdone. I didn't buy it and felt embarrassed for the actors having to do it. The script called for Valerie or one of her friends to help her distract the neighbor who was writing an article about Valeria in their newspaper. They were going to check to see what was on his computer and if it was bad, delete it. If it was good, they would leave it alone. A grown woman thinks this is a good idea. Bad storyline IMO. Reminds me of a bad script from Three's Company or Andy Griffith. I hope I don't see anything else like that. I turned it off. I'll try again with a new episode.
